Fact: ipaddress6
Purpose: Returns the "main" IPv6 IP address of a system.
Resolution:
OS-dependent code that parses the output of various networking tools and currently not very intelligent. Returns the first non-loopback and non-linklocal address found in the ouput unless a default route can be mapped to a routable interface. Guessing an interface is currently only possible with BSD-type systems; too many assumptions have to be made on other platforms to make this work with the current code. Most of this code is ported or modeled after the ipaddress fact for the sake of similar functionality and familiar mechanics.
Caveats:
